We drove to Valdez with Tessa & Nelson and saw the Worthington Glacier along the way.  Tessa, Nelson and Tanya pose in front.

Keystone Canyon, on the approach to Valdez.

Tanya & Tessa stand in front of Bridal Veil Falls in Keystone Canyon. 

Hiking in Keystone Canyon is no picnic!  Here you can see Tanya and Nelson using a rope to navigate some tricky geography.

Time to go hiking!  Tessa & Nelson stand on a great trail we found overlooking Prince William Sound.
Across the bay from our trail, the pumping station where the tankers fill up with crude oil.  Look closely and you can see it in the center of the picture.

Although the weather was overcast it was warm and humid.  

This was very rugged trail.  Tanya, Tessa, & Nelson are crossing one of the three waterfalls we traversed.

We had lunch at Gold Creek.  Shortly after this the trail got so rough we had to turn back.  We did over eight miles round-trip. 

Time to go sea kayaking!  Tanya & Nelson suit up in preparation for our trip to Shoup Glacier in Prince William Sound.

Tessa & Nelson tearing up Shoup Bay!  People in sea kayaks are cool.

Our trip through the bay took us past a Kittiwake rookery.  Tanya's looking at about a million of the gull-like birds hanging out in and around their nests.

Group photo!  Here we all are on the rocky shore with our boats.

Lunch time (again)!  After a short hike we finally made it.  A good view of the Shoup Glacier in the background.  It was calving a lot of ice into the bay on that day.

The view down Shoup Bay from the Glacier.  It's about a two-hour paddle from one end to the other.
We pulled our kayaks up next to each other for a group photo.  It didn't last long...we had to separate and ride out some huge waves from the ice calving off the glacier.

A great shot of a huge chunk of ice calving off the glacier, taken by our guide Paul.  It looks rather blurry but that's all ice and spray!
